Classic denim gets a curve-friendly update with the Ellis Skirt! Designed for stretch wovens, you can customize your pattern for a flawless fit with two different pelvis options in “apple” or “pear” shapes. Add a shaped yoke, fitted waistband and tailored back darts for a skirt you’ll love.

View A is styled like an iconic jean skirt, featuring a knee-length hem, front slit, rivets, belt loops, and rounded 5-pocket design, while View B is a flirty mini-skirt with clever diagonal pockets and topstitching detail.

This Cashmerette pattern includes:

• Two pelvis shape options, for “apple” or “pear” figures (see the instructions for how to choose your shape)
• A which will tell you exactly which size to make
• A beautifully illustrated and detailed instruction booklet, to guide you no matter your sewing level
